Indian Journal of Cancer. 2004 Apr-Jun; 41(2): 89-91http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/49380A case of an isolated submandibular gland metastasis from a clinically occult papillary thyroid carcinoma is described in a 46-year old lady. Initial surgery was done based on the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) report of adenocarcinoma of the submandibular gland. Histopathologic examination of the specimen suggested a metastatic papillary carcinoma. Occult papillary carcinoma in the thyroid was found by multiple blind FNACs. Subsequently to near-total thyroidectomy, no other site of metastasis was found on radio-iodine scanning.engCarcinoma, Papillary --secondaryFemaleHumansMiddle AgedSubmandibular Gland Neoplasms --secondaryThyroid Neoplasms --pathologyThyroidectomyCase Reports
